Chapter 613: Why Didn’t You Act Sooner?

The Beast God finally dissipated completely into the air amidst his unwillingness. The Yao Beasts that were still attacking instantly lost control, their movements freezing like puppets with their strings cut. The fierce light in their eyes quickly faded, replaced by expressions of bewilderment.

Immediately after, these Yao Beasts, having lost the support of their malevolence, began to weaken. Their massive bodies swayed before they collapsed one after another, their life force extinguished. Some other Yao Beasts scattered and fled.

Below the walls of Luo Shen Pass, the originally dense beast tide instantly disintegrated, leaving behind only the corpses of Yao Beasts strewn everywhere and the pervasive scent of blood.

Atop the city walls, the surviving Cultivators watched this sudden turn of events. They were stunned at first, but then a deafening cheer erupted as the joy of surviving a disaster flooded over them like a tide.

Yu Xian stood in mid-air, looking at the spot where the Beast God had dissipated. He exhaled a breath of turbid air. The South Ming Separating Fire slowly extinguished in his palm, and the Vermilion Bird Fire Seal on his brow gradually faded away.

He looked down at the celebrating crowd with little expression on his face. He simply activated the Zhu Xian Lotus Platform rapidly over the battlefield, extracting the malevolence from the area.

This malevolence, mixed with the residual energy of the Yao Beasts, was converted into pure Spiritual Qi by the lotus platform. A portion of it merged into his Meridians to replenish his consumption, while another portion turned into a gentle rain of light that fell, nourishing the land damaged by the battle beneath the city walls.

On the battlefield, everyone who survived gazed at the tall figure in mid-air, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

If Yu Xian hadn’t turned the tide, Luo Shen Pass would likely have become a playground for Yao Beasts today, which would then have swept across the entire Central Plains. At that time, it would have been a catastrophe for all living beings.

After a long while, Yu Xian finally withdrew the Zhu Xian Lotus Platform. This upheaval could be considered over!

Yu Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. Standing on the wall of Luo Shen Pass and looking at the mess everywhere, he felt quite emotional.

If it weren’t for the South Ming Separating Fire and the Zhu Xian Lotus Platform provided by the System, let alone destroying the Beast God, it wasn’t even certain if he could have kept the beast tide outside Luo Shen Pass.

“Husband!” At this moment, Ning Zhongze and the others also returned!

The Spiritual Qi emitted by the Zhu Xian Lotus Platform just now had also replenished them. Their faces, which had been slightly pale from the intense battle, regained some color.

Yu Xian looked at his women; every one of them was safe and sound. Although their faces showed some fatigue, their spirits were high, and the same was true for the children.

This was their first time experiencing such a battle. Their little faces were somewhat smudged by smoke, but there was no cowardice at all. Instead, they opened their large, dark eyes, waiting for Yu Xian’s praise.

“Daddy, you’re so amazing! That Fire Bird and Golden Arrow were so cool!” Yu Xiangling’s little face was full of admiration, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Yu Xian, as if she wanted to etch that shocking scene into her heart forever.

Beside her, Yu Chenning, Yu Chenrong, and Yu Anling also nodded vigorously, chiming in with their own additions.

The children spoke one after another, their tender voices filled with respect and pride for their father. Their chirping was like a group of birds just leaving the nest, instantly adding a bit of fresh Life Qi to the battle-worn Luo Shen Pass.

“It’s over.” After patting each of the children’s heads, Yu Xian spoke to The Women.

Hearing this, The Women all showed smiles of relief.

Ning Zhongze stepped forward and gently brushed away the dust on Yu Xian’s shoulder, her eyes full of heartache and gratification. “It’s all because of you that this could end so smoothly.”

The Women spoke one after another, their words carrying the relief of surviving a disaster and a deep reliance and admiration for the man before them.

“Master! (Little Uncle!)”

At this time, Yang Guo and the others also returned.

Each of them was in a sorry state, with quite a few even carrying injuries. However, not a single Disciple from Dazhu Peak was missing, though there were fewer elites from other peaks. Their Yuqing Realm cultivation was still a bit too low!

Yu Xian immediately threw out Medicinal Pills for healing and had them take them. Whether they were from Dazhu Peak or other peaks, he didn’t favor one over the other since they had all come out with him.

The Disciples of the Qingyun Sect were all incredibly excited, not just because of the healing Medicinal Pills Yu Xian gave them, but mainly because this battle was won beautifully!

Although they all had more or less sustained injuries, compared to the people from the other two Sects, their sacrifices were almost negligible.

The few Disciples who were sacrificed had only been caught by the Yao Beasts because they weren’t paying attention. Yu Xian’s wives had done their best to protect them, appearing in time whenever they were in danger. Only then did the Qingyun Sect Disciples receive such comprehensive protection.

Looking at Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley, their casualties were heavy.

Tianyin Temple was alright; when The Women passed by, they would lend a hand to save people. But Fenxiang Valley was different. No one passed by them at all. Who told the people of Fenxiang Valley to dare lust after Lu Xueqi? Everyone in the Qingyun Sect had great grievances regarding this.

But thinking about it, it was actually quite good. Although Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley suffered heavy casualties, if it weren’t for Yu Xian, everyone at Luo Shen Pass would have likely met the end of having their Divine Souls destroyed in the face of such a beast tide and the Beast God.

However, the people of Fenxiang Valley didn’t seem to think so, and a voice emerged from among them.

“Since he’s so powerful, why didn’t he act sooner? He let so many of our brothers die tragic deaths! He is the murderer!”

As soon as this voice rang out, it immediately drew the attention of the surrounding Cultivators.

The speaker was a Fenxiang Valley Disciple. He had unhealed wounds on his face, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. He clearly blamed the casualties of his fellow Disciples on Yu Xian acting too late.

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally celebratory atmosphere instantly froze. Many Fenxiang Valley Disciples chimed in, and their gazes toward Yu Xian became complicated, filled with grief, indignation, questioning, and even a hint of hostility.

The monks of Tianyin Temple pressed their palms together with expressions of compassion, but they didn’t say much, clearly unwilling to cause more trouble at this moment.

The Qingyun Sect Disciples were furious upon hearing this. They all stepped forward, glaring at that Fenxiang Valley Disciple. If Yu Xian hadn’t been present, they probably wouldn’t have been able to resist stepping forward to teach him a lesson.

“In that case, I don’t mind sending you all to reunite with them!” Yu Xian’s voice suddenly turned cold, like a December wind sweeping across Luo Shen Pass. The originally noisy city wall instantly became silent.

His eyes indifferently swept over those Fenxiang Valley Disciples who had chimed in. The air around him seemed to freeze due to this icy killing intent.

The Fenxiang Valley Disciple who was just shouting now felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His lips trembled, and he couldn’t say another word.

The other Fenxiang Valley Disciples were also deterred by this invisible pressure. The resentment and unwillingness on their faces were instantly replaced by fear. They all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Yu Xian’s gaze again.

Ning Zhongze and the others frowned slightly, their gazes piercing the Fenxiang Valley Disciples like knives. They were extremely disgusted by this kind of behavior—being ungrateful and biting the hand that feeds them.
